1995 e320 Wagon
1995 E320 backup lights not working

Hi,

I have a 1995 E320 Wagon with backup lights that are not working and I need to pass an inspection this month. I have checked the fuse (#7) and everything else on that fuse is working fine. Any thoughts on where the weak point of this system might be? Any thoughts on getting to the end point of the wire that is actuating, or not, these lights? I would like to check that and am very curious as to exactly where it is and how I could get to it.

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee

I have a 95 E320, the low beams aren't working (high beams and fog lights are) and the tail lights aren't working. Any suggestions?

charles,

try checking the light relay. May need to go to the junk yard for one because a new one is pricey.
